In order to achieve such an innovation leap, UNITY supported this project from the very beginning with its expertise: Structured development following the principles of agile systems engineering served to systematically definethe product, conduct holistic development in terms of the market, product and process; and to ensure an optimal market entry.

By utilizing this approach, UNITY led the project team – consisting of Dürkopp Adler employees and UNITY consultants – throughout the entire duration of the project. In addition to the core projects of product definition an machine development, UNITY also took responsibility for planning and supporting the market launch, planning the electrical assembly for the control technology, planning the machine assembly, developing Dürkopp Adler’s digitalization strategy and optimizing its service organization. As a part of the UNITY Innovation Alliance, CP Contech Electronic also provided support in developing and producing the control panel.
